To NZ-Gamer-1994:
Most of what you're nit-picking at just has to do with convenience. It's understandable wanting things to be more convenient, but I imagine the developer left some things the way he did intentionally. Lots of games capitalize on a game's inconveniences; sometimes for better or for worse. In this case, there's no way to improve on them, but they're so minor (remember, it's just a tiny flash game), that it's just not a big deal.
Concerning the difficulty and class set-up, I'm currently stomping through Rome (third arena) with 2 Archers, 1 Trident/Net, and 2 Gallus with Earthquake hammers (that's key to my build). It's working really well, actually. I got stuck at a certain point in my previous build where I got killed over and over, so I adjusted and tried a new build. That's just part of learning from losing and adapting.
This game is pretty well made. A 4/5 on the given 1-5 scale, in my opinion. Sure, it could use tweaks and improvements here and there, but remember, it's just a flash game! :)
